SCENE> SOME OF THE MORLOCKS BEGINS TO WAKE UP IN A LARGE ROOM
AND LAYING IN COMFORTABLE BEDS, OTHER THAN SLIGHT HEADACHES, THEY
HAVE NO INJURIES. BUT ARE RATHER HUNGRY FROM THE PAST DAYS OF NOT
EATING<Tactile> ::looks around in pure energy form::((Ah
shock! I slept too long!))
<Powerslam> ::stretches and yawns:: ((Is this heaven?))
::glances over and sees Tactile:: ((Guess not))
<Myrea> ::makes a face..still laying in the bed..rubs her
eyes:: ((gotta..get use to this..)) ::drops her hands to her
sides and just lays there for a bit longer::
<Kali> ::Opens one eye, her wings warped about her tightly
like a blanket.::
<Priest> He.. he knocked us out? The ore... ::looks around,
whispers so as not to wake anyone who's still asleep, heh:: I-is
everyone alright?
<Kali> ::Yawns, sitting up and streching her arms and wings
which feel a bit stiff but rested.:: I suppose so.
<Tactile> ::touches his metal bed and takes the covering::
<Myrea> ::runs her hands over her face..pushes herself
up..leaning against the back of the bed/wall whatever..and pushes
her hair back..eyes narrow from groggy just woke up eye stuff::
<Powerslam> ::sits up, putting his legs over the edge and
stands up:: Up and at `em, oh freaks of nature.
<Tactile> ::sits up in bed feeling his energy restored::
<Myrea> ::stretches her arms out and then plops them by her
sides:: what now?
<Kali> ::Bats her stiff wings and glances around.:: So
where are we?
<Powerslam> ::ponders waking ppl up with some energy
balls:: No clue
<Priest> ::quickly gets to his feet and makes his way to
the exit:: ((Have to find the ore before he.. before he destroys
it...))ACTION> THE ONLY DOOR TO THE ROOM SLIDES OPEN FOR
GENESIS AS HE ENTERS THE ROOM<Kali> I suppose we've been used by him once
again... Speak of the devil..
<Myrea> ::blinks and looks over:: ((him again..))
<Genesis> ::almost bumps into Priest:: You're in a hurry.
<Priest> Mr. Genesis, sir.. ::backs up stumbling on the
carpet, and breaks into a sweat::
<Tactile> ::gets up and walks over to Genesis::{{Good
morning...excluding present company. What do you need?}}::glances
at Slam and back at Genesis as he 'says' that::
<Powerslam> ::eyes narrow at Genesis, ignoring Tactile::
<Genesis> Actually it is almost evening. And I already have
what I need, I would have thought the others would have explained
their situation to you when they.. picked you up i suppose.
::glances around the room:: I see you are all awake now
<Priest> Sir, umm.. ::quietly:: ..where's the ore? ::even
more quiet:: ..and why did you.. knock us out?
<Kali> ::Eyes narrow, her lips pursed together.::
<Myrea> ::Nods:: an obvious..where are we? and i would not
mind knowing what exactly is going to happen with us
<Genesis> ::looks at Priest:: The ore is being contained
for the moment. The reason for rendering you all unconscious was
a side effect of the charge sent through you all. It's purpose
was to deactivate the multitude of tracers you might have picked
up along the way. While you were unconscious it gave us the
opportunity to treat your wounds and irradiate you.
<Priest> ::coughs:: Irradiate, sir?
<Genesis> ::glances at Myrea:: You are in Seattle,
Washington. And I was thinking along the lines of a meal, since
you all haven't seemed to have eaten in the past few days.
<Kali> Why would we have a tracker on us?
<Powerslam> ::snorts quietly, glaring slightly at Genesis::
((Some excuse...))
<Genesis> ::nods:: Traces of nuclear radiation in the ore.
And tracers from Primus, and the Atlanteans were present on some
of you.
<Myrea> ((light.. kind of radiation if i'm thinking the
right definition..somewhere in the united states if i'm
correct..and..that part sounds nice..)) ::nods quietly and sits
back::
<Genesis> If you would all accompanied me, we will see
about getting you all a good meal. The rest of your team will be
around later, if you were concerned of their whereabouts, they
are fine.
<Priest> Sir, if it wouldn't be too much trouble...
perhaps, maybe, if you think it'd be alright... Icouldseetheore?
::deep breath after getting that out::
<Myrea> ::nods..looks around..sighs very lightly..and moves
out of her bed..waiting to follow::
<Powerslam> ::glances around:: ((They're... all buying
it...)) ::sighs::
<Genesis> ::nods:: I thought you would prefer to be present
at its destruction, that is why I have no done so yet. After
dinner we shall go to the ore, by then the rest of you should be
up and about. ::backs out of the room::
<Kali> ::Stands quitely.:: ((I hate this but... for now I
must play the fool.)) If his intetions are good or bad, it
dosen't matter, we're all hungry and we need something in our
stomchs before the next step.
<Myrea> ::Nods::
<Genesis> Come then. The food has already been prepared.
<Powerslam> ::slowly follows Genesis::
<Myrea> ::brushes her hair back agian..and follows::
<Kali> ::Follows Genesis, keeping an eye out for trouble or
double meanings.::ACTION> THE DOOR SLIDES CLOSED BEHIND THEM AS THEY
EXIT<Genesis> ::heads down the corridor ahead of
them::
<Priest> ((I can't let him destroy that ore if it's alive,
no matter who he is...)) ::bites his lip and frowns::
<Genesis> ::stops at a set of doors and looks back at
them:: I hope this will be to your liking.
<Myrea> ((I hope so too...been too long since i ate..not
use to everything, either..wearing me down..)) ::crosses her arms
and waits::ACTION> THE DOORS SLIDE OPEN TO A LARGE FORMAL DINING
ROOM. THE LONG TABLE COVERS WITH FOODS ALL NATIONALITIES TO MEET
THEIR NEEDS, EVEN SOME ATLANTEAN DISHES FOR MYREA.<Myrea> ::blinks lightly and looks around::
((someone..went to a great deal of trouble..))
<Powerslam> ::glances at the food, forcing himself not to
be tempted by it:: ((How do we know there aren't tracers in the
food, or it's poisoned?))
<Kali> ::Frowns slightly.:: ((Looks wonderful but it is a
waste. Surely, someone else needed this more than we do.))
<Genesis> ::walks into the room:: Please enjoy, there is no
reason for distrust. Anything I would have needed to accomplish
with you I would have done while you were all unconscious and at
my comlpete mercy.*******INTERLUDE*****

THE PARADOX HEADQUARTERS, A LONE MAN SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH
THEM, HIS CLOTHES KIND OF CHARRED FROM WHAT LOOKS TO BE A RECENT

THREATENINGLY AS THEY APPROACH THEM. THEY ALL SEE JAXION MAKING
HIS WAY DOWN THE CORRIDOR, LOOKING SLIGHTLY WORSE FOR WEAR.<Redwood> ((he doesnt look much like a
guard.......)) hello there.........?
<Maverick> Who are you? ::looks curiously at jaxion::
<Tripstar> ::tries to look without getting to close to the
bars:: He doesn't look too good...
<Jaxion> ::blinks and peers into the cells:: Name's Jaxion.
Um.. hi. ::rubs the back of his neck:: I don't suppose any of you

HEARD COMING DOWN THE CORRIDORS<Tripstar> Sorry... haven't seen anyone since I've
been locked up in here. ::pauses:: why are you looking for her?
<Redwood> ::looks toward the corridor:: now would be a good
time to leave................!
<Jaxion> Good call.. talk later.. runaway now.. ::starts
backing in the opposite direction::
<Maverick> ::looks down the corridor::here they come!

SCENE> BACK IN THE DINING HALL, THE MORLOCKS PRESENT HAVE
ALREADY SAT DOWN AND SOME ALREADY HAVE BEGUN TO EAT.<Priest> ::scarfs down his food as quickly as one
can with a knife and fork:: ((Most of this will probably end up
going to waste anyway...)) Mmm, *gulp* this is good... ((I guess
I never realized how hungry I was, drawing energy from the ore
for so long...)) ::gulps down his glass of milk:: ((The ore...))
<Kali> ::Glances at the food, nibbling at it slightly.::
(Tastes normal enough...))
<Powerslam> ::eats, not really paying attention to other
people::
<Tactile> ::just sit down, cause he was behind the rest of
the group::{{Well....I really have nothing to do right now. I
don't eat.))::looks at a plate before him filled with food::
<Myrea> ::has eaten about 1/4 of what's on her plate..picks
at it slightly..sitting properly:: ((just..strange..don't exactly
feel great..this is too different..might take awhile..))
<Genesis> ::sits at the head of the tavle, looking in
Tactile's direction:: I understand that but I would rather not
have you wandering around on your own, you understand of course.
<Tactile> ::glances at Genesis::{{Yes I do.}}((Yes I
understand he has something secret and probably illegal.))ACTION> THE DOOR SLIDE OPENS AND STATIC IS ESCORTED
INSIDE<Powerslam> ::glances up:: Where's leader boy been
all this time?
<Myrea> ::blinks..looks over to static..nods slightly..eats
another part of her food..but not much::
<Genesis> Ah, I see another one of your team has finalyl
awaked. Some were more irradiated than the others.
<Priest> ::finishes his second helping of pheasent and
serves himself some thirds:: ((My compliments to the chef...))
<Static> ::Frowns as he enters, still apparantely angry
about being knocked out::
<Kali> ::Chews slightly on vegtables and some bread.:: ((I
feel rotten for eating any sort of 'human' food... It's a normal
conspect, life and death.. I still can't get over it.)) Leader
boy...
<Tactile> ::looks at PS::{{Who are you talking about?}}
<Genesis> Once we are finished here we will go to the ore
to see to its destruction and put at least some of your
suspicions to rest.
<Powerslam> ::nods to Static:: He likes to play leader...
::shrugs then continues eating::
<Tactile> ::turns to Static::{{I haven't notice but I
should of known you would of, all nitpickers do.}}
<Static> ::Shakes his head and sits down:: ((Just ignore
him..))

But sir, you.. you.. youcan'tdestroytheore... ::gulps down
another glass of milk::
<Myrea> ::rolls her eyes..moves her hands away from her
food..shrugs and just sits::
<Static> ::Frowns:: I still don't like this, Genesis. You
know a lot more about this ore, then you're letting on..
<Genesis> ::sighs slightly, looking at Priest:: You are
overly concerned for it. It really is not good for you to be so
worried. Here, I'd like you to try something. ::waves his hand at
one of the surrounding men::ACTION> THE MAN COMES OF WITH A PITCHER OF SOMETHING,
POURING IT IN A GLASS NEXT TO PRIEST<Kali> ::Eyes narrow.:: ((It's drugged or
something else. Perhaps a mind game?))
<Genesis> ::glances at Static:: Of course I do, as I
should. Oh, and your father is present in the building if you
would like to see him. I have not told him yet of your arrival.
<Priest> ::looks at the glass, then at the others, and
makes a "why me?" face:: ((I suppose if he wanted me
dead.. that's no excuse...)) ::sniffs it suspiciously::
<Powerslam> ::glances to the glass:: ((He seems awfully
quick to I'm guessing drug or get the only one worried about the
ore drunk))
<Static> ::Face darkens:: I'll be sure to pay my respects..
<Powerslam> ::tries forming an energy ball and sending it
at the glass::ACTION> SOME TYPE OF ENERGY SPARKS FROM GENESIS' EYES,
THE BALL DISIPATES HALFWAY ACROSS THE TABLE<Genesis> If you do not care to have any, you
could just say no thanks. ::glances at Powerslam::
<Priest> ::grabs the glass, starts to sweat again, and
takes an itty bitty teeny weeny sip::
<Genesis> Would anyone else care for some though? ::has the
same man pour him a glass as well::
<Powerslam> No thanks ::overly sarcastic:: ((Never trust a
corp person bearing gifts...))
<Kali> ::Voices hisses and eyes narrow at PS.:: If you're
foolish enough to waste your own life, that's fine, but please,
put the others in regaurd first.
<Genesis> Very well. ::takes the drink, sipping it::
<Tactile> ::looks at Genesis::{{Well I would take one, but
I am afraid I would leak onto your floor.}}ACTION> PRIEST NOTICES THE DRINK TAKES RATHER GOOD, NO
STRANGE AFFECTS ON HIM<Powerslam> ::glances to Kali, calmly:: Get up on
the wrong side of cave this morning?
<Priest> Mmm.. ::after seeing gen take a sip, takes a large
gulp::
<Static> ::Frowns, staring at nothing in particular:: ((Do
I even WANT to see him..?))
<Kali> If I did or didn't it dosen't give you the excuse to
over react to a damn drink!
<Tactile> ::glares at PS::((Looks like he'll have more
enemies than I.))
ACTION> PRIEST STARTS TO FEEL RATHER.. GOOD.
<Genesis> ::waves a hadn in Kali's and PS' direction::
Please please.. no harm was done. His reaction is understandable.ACTION> PRIEST FEELSTHE SENSATION OF A WAVE GOIGN
THROUGH HIM, AND AS IF HE IS FLYING IN THE AIR, EVEN THOUGH HE IS
SIMPLY SITTING IN PLACE<Tactile> ::turns to Priest::{{He seems to be
enjoying his little drink...}}
<Powerslam> ::shakes his head and rolls his eyes, ignoring
Kali::
<Priest> Whoo... ::giggles softly:: ..it's gone straight to
my head..
<Genesis> ::looks at Priest's glass, nearly empty:: Erm..
that was not advisable.
<Kali> Just a moment too late you suppose Mr. Genesis? You
seem to have that charm.
<Powerslam> What'd you put in it?
<Priest> ::finishes off the drink::
<Genesis> You do not "chug" Elysian. ::shakes his
head:: Oh no..
<Static> ::Shakes his head, interrupting himself from his
thoughts, and glances over, watching Priest's reactions::
((Strange..))
<Tactile> ::turns to Genesis::{{Elysian...?}}
<Powerslam> I find it odd that you should drug the one
person not wanting to destroy the ore...
<Genesis> A narcotic.. perfectly legal. I would have
thought he had it before. In the past year it rose in popularity
in Boston.. beat out rapture sales.
<Priest> Elysian? Land of the blessed dead.. ::giggles some
more:: ..but I'm not dead am I? ::giggles::
<Tactile> ::gets up and heads back to the quarters::{{I
don't feel like sitting here staring at food while others eat. I
am going back to the room if you don't mind.}}((And even if you
do too bad.))

<Genesis> I offered you some as well. He simply seemed
overly stressed about the entire situation. ::looks warily at

it..

that.. ::groans and puts a hand to his forehead::
<Kali> Drugs, quite fitting, after all you must of
admisrated quite a few into our bodies lately...
<Priest> ::pets the chair:: You're awfully far from water
Mr. Turtle.. ::grabs the water pitcher and pours it on the floor
next to the chair:: ..there ya go, all better!

last?

the suggestion.:: How long with the effects last on the

suddenly.. he'll burn himself out. But.. the hallucinations will
worsen..
<Priest> Oh no! Have to get them off! ::leaps to his feet
knocking the chair back and starts leaping around waving his
hands like an idiot:: Icky, slithery snakes! ICKY!!!!!

answer. ::Dosen

reluctantly and slowly head for Priest::
